An ode to Mother Nature; poems that take their inspiration from the great outdoors.

Lone Wolf
He walks the dark path alone. No place to call his home. Moonlight guides his soul, Like a mother calls her foal. Howling winds push him in the right direction.

The End of Spring Flowers
One by one the petals drop Evergrowing dreams eroded by misfortune Fatal coincidences entagled with fate How easily do my roots shrivel

Beautiful Chaos
I was tired and i couldn't sit at home for another second because I knew it would be chaos as soon as they walked in the door. So I left. I walked to the pond with my hair wet and my body wrapped in a thin blanket. I sat on a cold park bench hoping to just sit in peace and watch the beautiful sunset. It was gorgeous and incredible, how quickly the vibrant colors in the sky changed. As it got darker not only did I watch, I listened. I heard the ducks quacking and birds chirping. I heard the generator roar over every little peaceful thing. I heard sirens howl, getting closer, then finally drifting away. I heard cars race by like time was flying. and in that moment, I didn't find peace. I found the chaos. Not once did I hear complete silence and enjoy the mesmerizing sunset. The world will never stop when pain comes crashing down. I realized, in the short trip across the street, how to find beauty in the chaos and silence in the noise

Pink ponies and fuchsia mares skip on the glitter heliotrope sand where sandcastle stick on the ground. Lilac seashells by the seashore

Siddharta's Hideout
Juicy grape-like hyacinths, the salty crystal raindrops pouring, the crimson roses touching the stars, as the amethyst glitter drives around the blueberry bushes.

Stuck
Get high in nature Witness the euphoric sight of a dirt path winding through miles of trees waving their hellos The rage of the crashing falls transforming into the calm trickling of water over a cascade of rocks

A rose I pick, every other day. Its rich colour vibrant and true Makes me think of sweeter times When I knew the meaning of

Sunsets. Beautiful. Breath-taking gifts of nature.
You could be having one of those "worst days of your life" type of days. You could be going through a really difficult and challenging phase in your life, one of many perhaps, where you're questioning things and not really sure how you're feeling about certain circumstances unfolding in your life. But what I absolutely love about this beautiful thing we're all blessed with called life, is that when you least expect it, it surprises you, and gives you the chance to taken in such breath-taking views. Where all of the sudden, a quite feeling of calmness transcends upon you, leaving you in awe and wonder. Feeling a little better than how you were before.

Serene Motion
Often I catch glimpses of unintentional serene motions in nature. Whether its a koi fish pivoting in the water forming ripples on its glassy surface, or a dog bounding across the beach, the serene motions of animals radiate serenity to me as an observer. The natural and instinctive movements of serene animals reflect an effortlessness which we do not normally contribute to humans.

Ancient oak
Oh twisted oak, centuries old, standing all alone Branches stretching to the skies, so much nature calls you home Your lofty limbs, impressive trunk, you stand so tall and proud
